10 smoking hot romance heroes to help you forget Jax Teller

So, not too long ago, we ran a “best of” list post featuring our favorite biker reads. The response was completely overwhelming. (Y’all love your bikers, don’t ya? We DIG that about you!) We received so many suggestions that we spent weeks sequestered in the reading cave working our way through a TBR mountain of biker romances. And guess what? You guys were right! There are even more sexy bikers out there than even we were aware of. With that in mind, here are our additional picks for sexy romance heroes guaranteed to fill the hole in your heart Jax Teller left behind:

The Scars Between Us

8/10/2017

CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE

Title: The Scars Between Us
Author: MK Schiller
Publication date: 07/17/2017
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

I have a real weakness for brooding bad boys. But a hero who is a brooding bad boy who also rescues abused dogs? Well, hell, it sounds like this one was written for a target audience of three: Me, me and me!

This was a great emotional read with just the right amount of angst (not over-the-top, crazy angst, but a nice low level of simmering angst...just enough to keep things interesting).

On the Chase

8/9/2017

ROMANTIC SUSPENSE

Title: On the Chase
Author: Katie Ruggle
Publication date: 09/05/2017
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

OK, y’all know that I’m not totally in love with romantic suspense. But this book was on NetGalley and it has a dog on the cover. A dog! How am I supposed to resist that?

Well, Lexie the dog was FANTASTIC. Loved her to death. Just wish the rest of the story was as awesome as she was…

Record of Wrongs

8/8/2017

CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE

Title: Record of Wrongs
Author: Sharon Kay
Publication date: 08/01/2017
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

This was a book that totally surprised me. I’ve read “hero just got out of prison” romances before, and honestly, there’s very few that I enjoyed. They're usually just too angsty for me. (I’m old and grumpy, folks. Angsty just doesn’t work for grumpy old-timers like me.) But this book was surprisingly low angst, and I really enjoyed it!

What I loved most about Cruz’s relationship with Rosie was that it was so honest.

Should I break up with romantic suspense, or give it another chance?

So, I’ve been wondering lately if it’s time to call it quits with romantic suspense. You know, have the standard “it’s not you, it’s me” conversation and go our separate ways. It’s a tough decision because we’ve had some good times, romantic suspense and I. And there’s no denying that Cynthia Eden, Shannon K. Butcher, Kaylea Cross, and Katie Reus—just to name a few—are masters who’ve provided me with hours and hours of sexy, alpha book boyfriends, feisty heroines, and scary, sicko serial killers worthy of their own guest spots on Criminal Minds. But for every great romantic suspense I’ve read from the masters, I’ve read five more that featured crap that just irked the bejesus out of me. Stuff like:

11 Sinfully hot romance heroes who give a whole new meaning to “love thy neighbor”

11 Sinfully hot romance heroes who give a whole new meaning to “love thy neighbor”

I don’t know about you, but my track record with neighbors is kind of crappy. I’ve lived next door to creepy peeping Tom neighbors, suspected serial-killer neighbors, hoarder neighbors...you name the weirdo and I’ve lived next door to him (or her). But hot, sexy neighbors? Nope. I’ve never been that fortunate. Doesn’t stop me from loving a good romance read about them, though. With that in mind, here are our top picks for the top 11 too-good-to-be-true neighbors in romance today:

Waiting for Wyatt

8/3/2017

NEW ADULT ROMANCE

Title: Waiting for Wyatt
Author: SD Hendrickson
Publication date: 01/12/2016
Kindle Unlimited: Yes
Cliffhanger: No
Rating: 5 out of 5

This one was a re-read for me. In fact, you might remember seeing it on our list of slow-burn romance recommendations some time ago. But then it occurred to me that I’d never written a review of this little gem, which is a travesty. So, here I am, to tell y’all how great this book is.

At the beginning of the book, you meet Wyatt, a grumpy, antisocial recluse who seems to prefer the company of dogs to people. Right away, I’m thinking: this is my ideal man. If he also loves Game of Thrones, doughnuts, and obscure movie references, screw Emma! This guy’s mine.

Stay Close

8/2/2017

CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE

Title: Stay Close
Author: Alexa Riley
Publication date: 07/17/2017
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No
Rating: 5 out of 5

There’s a few things I almost universally hate in romance novels. Barely legal virgin heroines with older heroes, instalove, over-the-top declarations of love/devotion, and novellas (the short length just doesn’t allow for much character development).

Stay Close is a novella that features a barely legal virgin heroine, an older hero, over-the-top declarations of love/devotion, and rampant instalove. And...I loved it. How the ever lovin’ hell did you do that, Alexa Riley?

Under Fire

8/1/2017

ROMANTIC SUSPENSE

Title: Under Fire
Author: Scarlett Cole
Publication date: 08/01/2017
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No
Rating: 5 out of 5

Anyone who reads my reviews knows that I’m not a huge fan of romantic suspense. But once I saw that Scarlett Cole was the author? I couldn’t download fast enough. I ADORE Scarlett Cole. Her new adult romances are some of the best on the market today. (In fact, you can check out our review of Jordan Reclaimed. It was an AWESOME read.) And as usual, with this story, Ms. Cole didn’t disappoint. This story sucks you right in from the beginning, making you a part of Six and Louisa’s world. The author’s writing style is just so conversational and...real. There’s just no other way to describe it.
